Day 3 Break-Fast
I woke up with stabbing pains in my right upper abdomen side, front and back! I researched all kinds of possibilities! But, I don't have any money to have it checked out! I have been looking into finding a naturopath to take over my health care. I'm so tired of wasting my time and money on drugs and no results!
OK, I went to the store and bought some pro-biotic for my stomach pain. I hope that works!
I had steamed veggies for breakfast. Salad for lunch. And Veggie tortilla soup.
My husband made a carrot cake with pineapples, raisins and nuts. It filled the house with a wonderful smell. I stayed out of the kitchen all morning! I resisted! I just couldn't add to my blood sugar problems!

Day 2 Break-Fast
Still weak this morning! And now I have this upper central stabbing pain in my abdomen! I asked for steamed veggies this morning. I get to get some green in! Then I had a salad and some more butternut soup. Later, my husband made some spaghetti and meatballs, with garlic bread! Oh, I knew I shouldn't be eating it! And I didn't get that all of a sudden he craving foods he hasn't eaten in a long time!
I had a lot of pain when I eat it...like a sharp knife cutting through my intestines!
I need to get my self up tomorrow and take care of myself!
Don't get me wrong, I couldn't have done this without him! But, he's been having his own food issues... right now he's baking blueberry muffins! (No, I didn't have any!)

Day 1 Break-Fast
Oh heavens! I woke up so sick, I started vomiting all morning! Finally, I did another enema. But, it just wouldn't go away.
I have completed 27 days of juice fasting and I am so close to my 30 day mark! And I really wanted to go 120 days! I'm in big trouble!!!
My husband brought some chicken broth and crackers in to me!!! I finally caved in! It did make my stomach feel a little better and it stopped the vomiting!
Later, he brought me butternut squash soup and later some turkey chili. (Both with sour cream!) I wasn't really in the position to complain. It did taste good, but..Wow! I had stabbing pains as it went through my intestine! Not exactly the kind of thing I should be breaking a fast with! But, I was still too weak to get out of bed!

Day 25 Juice Fast
I finally drank down the green juice. Didn't really taste bad, but it was hard because my stomach is so nauseated. I went to the store and bought an enema bag because I think I am having too many toxins released and I have to get it out! I did feel a bit better, but it's still not gone!

Day 22 Juice Fast
I'm still really upset! I couldn't stop crying all day and all night!
I'm having a daughter drive me around 150 miles to another daughters this afternoon and borrowing her car and then driving around 300 miles to another daughter's to watch her 18 month old son for 2 weeks while she, her husband, two sons and my other daughter, her husband and two daughters are taking a cruise to Jamaica, Cayman Islands and Cozumel.
My husband was supposed to go with me, but as usual decides he's not going! So, my 16 year old daughter (who wants to stay with friends while we're gone) sits him down and convinces him he has to go with me because I am not capable of taking care of myself, let alone a baby!
I don't know really how to feel about all this! I was looking forward to getting away from all his stress, not bringing the stress with me! But, I wanted my daughter to be happy!
I made some juice to drink on the way, but my stomach was still to upset to drink any. I brought all my veggies and juicer to continue juicing the whole time there.

Day 21 Juice Fast
Today was not a very good day. My husband totally stressed me out! Sometimes he can be so cruel and say some really mean things to me. I have been crying all day, but he has no sympathy! I then cried even harder when my blood sugar and blood pressure went up! I've worked so hard to get this down. I feel like eating, but I just can't! My stomach is so upset, it doesn't even want juice! I feel like throwing up! I'm just drinking water and tea today! Hopefully, I can juice tomorrow!

Day 20 Juice Fast
My scale hasn't budged in 3 days. When this happens I like to believe my body is just busy working inside on other areas of cleansing. Good news, my blood sugar was lower today!
Today, I wished I never taught my 16 year old to cook! So, far my family has fended for themselves and cooked easy, not over powering smells of food. Well, today my daughter found a recipe for homemade pizza! She did a really good job at making it. And it smelled sooo good! Even my husband ate some and he swore off bread! Well, I'm staying strong! But, will probably be going to bed sooner tonight!
I juiced 4 celery, 2 tomato, 2 green onions, handful cilantro, handful parsley, handful of spinach, 1 garlic, a piece of ginger, 1 cucumber and 1 lemon.

Day 19 Juice Fast
I went to a health fair today. After today I don't know if I can ever trust Health Fairs again! My Body Mass Index was calculated at 44.7! I went home and did mine on the computer at http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
and it was 31.2. I'd have to weigh 285.5 to be 44.7 BMI! My cholesterol was 188. Back in October it was 157! For not eating anything for 19 days you would think it would be lower. Of course, I'm not eating nuts which brought it down before, but really! My blood pressure was good at 118/92. But now, the thing that made me really think...my blood sugar was 125? Thirty minutes, before I left the house it was 197! Last October, it was 169 before I went to the Health Fair and 97 at the Health Fair. Now I'm thinking.....Is my brand new blood sugar meter off and registering high? Or is the Health Fair's meter off? And if you can't trust blood sugar meters, what about all the people who rely on their blood sugar meter to figure out what dosage of insulin to take? Oh, I can't wait until I no longer have to deal with this!
I juiced celery, cabbage, tomato, onion, jalapeno, cilantro and cucumber.

Day 18 Juice Fast
Today, my daughter had some friends over for just dance 3 and video games! My husband and I made a spread for them. I took the opportunity to get rid of some junk food! But, when I asked them what they wanted to drink, I offered them freshly squeezed juice! Carrot and apple! They drank it!
But for me, I'm back on the green veggies! No fruit for me! It wasn't as good as I thought it would be! I can live a long time on my spicy greens! It's very satisfying!
I juiced celery, cabbage, tomato, onion, jalapeno, cilantro and cucumber.

Day 17 Juice Fast
It's my birthday today! And my body gave me a present....I have now officially broken the 200 pound barrier (199.6) and the 200 blood sugar barrier (164)! I have lost 20 lbs now in 16 full days! And my blood pressure is normal 126/86 and my pulse is lower at 67! All with no meds! It's A Great Birthday Today!
My daughter called me up and wanted to take me to lunch! I'm going to Jamba Juice for a fruit juice combo and 2 shots of wheat grass!
My husband was afraid I would mess my blood sugar up with fruit juices today. But, I'm adding greens to balance it...and it's my birthday! It's much better than a slice of cake! Then, tomorrow back to the 100% veggie juices!
So, when my husband came home, I told him, "I'm going to lunch with Kelsey!", He immediately stopped in his tracks, and hurried back in the kitchen...No!, you can't! His reaction was so dramatic, I couldn't resisted..."It's my birthday and I can if I want too!" "You've come so far, you can't mess up now!", he said.
I laughed and said, "I'm only going to Jamba Juice for some juice and wheat grass shots!" He gave a sigh of relief, "Oh, I thought you were going to blow it!" It's nice to know, he supports me and will encourage me to continue if I have a weak moment!

I didn't end up with a Jamba Juice. The place was very disappointing! Most of their drinks aren't really juices, they are smoothies! Made with sherbets and yogurt. But, I heard they were serving juices now. Well, I don't consider juice concentrate, real juice!They advertise fresh squeezed juice, but they only freshly squeeze oranges, carrots and wheat grass! Their apple, pineapple and pear are concentrates and their mango and acerola are pureed! And they are preserved with citric acid, ascorbic acid, beta carotene and pectin. I understand this isn't that bad of preservatives, but if you have to preserve something, it's not fresh!
And if it's not fresh, it has lost lots of enzymes, vitamins and minerals, etc. I'll pass!
But, I still had a blast with my daughter! She took me to the mall for pedicures! And a movie!
When I first walked into the movie theater, I inhaled the wonderful smell of popcorn! So, as I walked passed the popcorn counter, I inhaled deep several times to get my fill of its intoxication! One smell, two smells, three smells, I almost said to myself, "That's good, I'm full!", then a big woof of bleach went up my nose...yuck! It ruined what ever pleasure I just got!
Today, I had a watermelon with spinach and kale. Real sweet! Then I had a pineapple with spinach and kale. Even more sweet! Then I combined the two. No matter how much I tried I just didn't enjoy it! I was really craving my spicy green juice! But, I juiced so much fruit juice I had to use it! I finally gave the last watermelon juice to my husband. I couldn't take anymore! Off to bed!
